Audit Committee

Basically, the Audit Committee checks if we’re doing what we should be doing.

It looks at whether we’re managing our money and finances properly. It checks we’re doing what we can to guard against threats like fraud, cyber attack, health and safety, and extreme weather disruption.

In a nutshell, it makes sure we do what we need to do, to keep public money and resources safe.

The interesting thing about the Audit Committee is that it isn’t chaired by a councillor. It’s chaired by a member of the public.
